Liquidity Cash Flow Planning and Stress Testing Model
Dynamic Microsoft Excel spreadsheet tool designed to assist in performing quantitative liquidity assessments as required by the Interagency Guidance on Funding and Liquidity Management. Includes a base-case scenario and four stress scenarios covering a 12-month horizon. Allows for easy what-if modifications to the base-case assumptions to monitor the impact on primary and contingent liquidity.
Over the years, our methodology passed through a number of regulatory exams at our client banks.
Use the model to:
- Forecast monthly funding needs, funding sources, and cash flow gaps over time
- Estimate wholesale funding capacity considering the available collateral and internal policy limits
- Monitor primary and contingent liquidity sources over time
- Perform liquidity stress testing using a combination of stress constraints
- Evaluate the impact of both short-term and prolonged stress events
- Calculate liquidity coverage ratios over time
- Analyze changes in the funding concentrations and other key balance sheet ratios
- Assess the plan’s compliance with policy limits/presence of certain early warning indicators
- Create reports
The key questions that can be answered through the cash flow analysis are:
- Are the bank’s primary and contingent liquidity reserves adequate?
- Are the projected ratios and the risk levels within the policy limits?
- To what degree is the bank reliant on volatile or credit-sensitive funding sources?
